Love One Another

Knowing
By Ginger Hinson

All is good
Unless it's bad
And the world keeps
Going, flowing, growing

You love who you love
Being who you see
Inside you, In your depth
You always know

Bullying

The following poem is about the internal impact of bullying.

Erosion
By Ginger Hinson

Word flames scorch.
The serpentine tongue
Painfully licking vulnerability.
The ego's wall thickens

Barrier's perimeter extends
To contain the internal
Seepage as it dissolves,
Eroding esteem from within

A forcefield permeates,
Covering, hiding truths,
Fending off fire's bite,
Separating from the onslaught

Reputation

Recently, I've seen many people in the media lose their reputations. I imagined what it would feel like and wrote the following poem.

Tangled
By Ginger Hinson

The dis-repair of my psych
My reputation shatters
Misguided by society's expectations
Leading to destruction's chaos

Receptors distorted by noise
That's forever babbling
With frothy nonsensical chatter.
Tangled morals become remorse

Another poem

The following is a poem about politics and people not getting along.

Politics
By Ginger Hinson

Pervert station, Sinister ideas
Of the universe converge
Infiltrating the soul and
Feeding the iniquities of
The World's perceptions

Dark matter inside seeps into
Forbidden places, recesses
Too deep... Light can't penetrate
Foreshadowing the future
Impacting the cosmic flow

Should a spark ignite
Would it, could it be enough
To cast away the dank suspicions
That intertwine in society?
Can humanities flame erupt,

Combust into a fire of change
Purging the black ice from
Our hearts? A steel of
Understanding to build a bridge
Erasing hatred and despair.

Poems

Disconnect
By Ginger Hinson

Electronic succubus,
Thief of time
Filling the emptiness
With False connections
That leaves a void,
A black hole to
Cipher the soul,
The self, into oblivion.



Internal
By Ginger Hinson

Classified thoughts
Too secret to reveal
Churn within the complex
Known as imagination

The Breakup

The Breakup
By Ginger Hinson

Falling memories
Through the misty sighs
The dark night speaks,
Resonates with secrets.

Shivers dance
Cascading over the body
The essence of thought
Reverberates, flows, awakens

Senses heightened
Identities fleetingly unite
Then separateness overtakes.
The bond fades, numbness remains.

Doctor Doze the Anti-Doctor Oz

#DoctorOz The following interview of my guest does not reflect my opinions.

Today I have a very special guest, Doctor Doze. He's best know as the Anti-Doctor Oz.

Me: Welcome to my blog, Doctor Doze.

Doze: I'm happy to be here, even though you don't have a following.

Me: I'm sure that'll change since you're here.

Doze: Well, it cannot hurt. Let me start by saying I don't like being called the "anti" Doctor Oz.

Me: Why not?

Doze: Because anti has a negative meaning and I'm an optimist unlike that pessimistic Doctor Oz.

Me: Pessimistic? How so?

Doze: Doctor Oz is always talking about antitoxins. What does he have against the toxins? They're part of socitey and should be embraced.

Me: I thought toxins are bad for you.

Doze: That's what he wants you to believe. The toxins actually strengthen your body by giving it something to fight against. Too many antitoxins makes your body lazy and unable to deal with the toxins on its own.

Me: Interesting theory. So, Doctor Doze, where did you receive your degree?

Doze: In a little island that most people haven't heard about. It's very progressive. There was even a witch doctor teaching a course in ancient remedies.

Me: Sounds fascinating. What made you decide to study medicine?

Doze: Okra.

Me: You mean Oprah?

Doze: No, okra, the slimy yelky vegetable. My mom forced me to eat it as a child. I knew I would grow up to one day become a doctor and prove to her that okra is bad for you. I accomplished my goal, but she still doesn't believe that okra is a terrible food.

Me: I agree that boiled okra isn't good, but I enjoy okra if it's fried.

Doze: Never say fried in front of Doctor Oz. He considers it the
"f-word."

Me: Duly noted.

Doze: Before I forget, I must mention something else about Doctor Oz. He's anti-WCL

Me: What's WCL.

Doze: World Coffee Lovers of which I'm a member. Last week he proposed a diet that completely eliminated coffee. That's not American, but what can you expect from a TL.

Me: What's a TL?

Doze: Tea lover. He loves tea so much that if he was at the Boston Tea Party, Doctor Oz would have jumped in the water and carried the tea back to shore. What's with that look you're giving me? Don't tell me that you're a TL.

Me: Actually, I drink both coffee and tea.

Doze: Figures. Some people can't seem to commit to one or the other. Do you know something else I don't like about Doctor Oz, he...

Me: I hate to interrupt you, Doctor Doze, but our time is up. Thank you for visiting my blog, Doctor Doze.

Doze: I guess you're welcomed, but I will only come back if you get some followers.

That concludes my interview with Doctor Doze.
